Ancient Olympia, Greece

From Rome, we cruised over to Katacolon, Greece and took an excursion to Ancient Olympia—the origins of the Olympic Games.

One thing I didn't mention was the hall of shame. According to an article in the Smithsonian about cheating in the Olympics:

Pedestals that once held great statues still line pathways that led to ancient stadiums. But these were not statues that heralded athletic feats, rather they served as reminders of athletes and coaches who cheated. According to Patrick Hunt, a professor of archaeology at Stanford University, these monuments were funded by levies placed on athletes or on the city-states themselves by the ancient Olympic Council.

I rather like the idea of cheaters being called out in such a way—never to be forgotten or replaced by tomorrow's headline.
